GERMANY and MADE IN GERMANY Marking

Were final proof marks on left or right applied after or before bluing? What I am curious about is if the receiver is harder / softer and so the halo's don't appear, compared to the barrel?

Mauser Lugers are harder than DWMs. Barrels, sideplates, frames are relatively softer than other parts. Really hard parts are receiver, breechblock,extractor, front and rear toggle links.
